It is possible that the same people who carried out a heist in Pretoria on Tuesday struck again near Southgate on Wednesday.

“What is concerning is that we are noticing similarities or tactics that were employed in Tuesday’s heist in Pretoria where a Mercedes-Benz SUV rammed into the cash van causing it to come to a halt,” said Captain Mavela Masondo, of the Gauteng Provincial SAPS.

“Today’s incident, the same transpired where a Mercedes Benz vehicle rammed into the vehicle, guards were ordered out, disarmed, and the cash van and the vehicle that rammed into it bombed,” he said.

Captain Masondo would not confirm whether any cash was taken in the heist.
